Sarawak — our new solar frontier

Expanding capacity: An aerial view of the 50MW Batang Ai floating solar farm. More floating and ground-mounted LSS projects will continue to be awarded in the near future to help meet the solar target by 2030.

SARAWAK is emerging as Malaysia’s new solar frontier, drawing major renewable energy (RE) players from the peninsula – where most solar rollout activity has taken place – and unlocking a fresh wave of green investment.

Early this month, three 100MW solar projects were awarded to peninsula-based RE developers marking their entry into Sarawak’s growing RE sector.
